Hit song Runaway Train’ turns 25 and gets a new video. This time technology is used to find missing kids (CNN)

In 1992, the band Soul Asylum in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children released an iconic music video featuring missing children from around the country.

For the song’s 25th anniversary, NCMEC has released a new version of “Runway Train,” with a new artist and a new generation of children, which includes geo-targeting technology.

The new music video is the first time the NCMEC has used geo-targeting technology to find these missing children. Viewers may be familiar with the technology through advertising, such as on Facebook or Instagram.

The technology uses an individual’s IP address to find out their general location. In the case of missing children, the video inserts the children that went missing closest to a viewer’s area.

Why use the technology? Because according to the NCMEC, 61% of children reported missing are found in the state in which they disappeared.

According to the FBI, over 424,000 children were entered as missing in the National Crime Information Center database in 2018. The figure reflects the number of reports of missing children, according to the NCMEC website.

In 2018, the NCMEC said one in seven of the 23,000 juvenile runaways were likely the victims of child sex trafficking.

The original video helped recover 21 missing children, according to the NCMEC.

Even though the video only shows a handful of children, it was recut and released every time a child was found, resulting in multiple versions. The center is hoping that with the combination of the technology and the age of social media will help significantly increase the original number.

The center collaborated with several prominent artists, such as Jamie N Commons and Grammy nominees Skylar Grey and Gallant, to create the new music video.

Notable: Japanese mobile carriers postpone sales of new Huawei smartphones.

Japanese mobile carriers postpone sales of new Huawei smartphones

TOKYO (Kyodo) – Two major Japanese mobile phone service operators said Wednesday they will postpone sales of new smartphone handsets produced by Huawei Technologies Co. after Washington effectively banned U.S. firms from exporting components to the Chinese tech giant.

KDDI Corp. and SoftBank Corp. have both said they will put off sales of Huawei's new smartphone models for their "au" and "Y!mobile" wireless services respectively, initially scheduled to begin later this month.

Another major mobile carrier, NTT Docomo Inc., said the same day it will stop taking orders for the new Huawei handsets, although the company said last Thursday it will launch a new high-end Huawei model in the summer.

KDDI and SoftBank said they made the decision as it remains unclear whether U.S. technology giant Google LLC will continue providing services, including its Android operating system, to the Chinese smartphone maker following a national emergency over technology threats declared by U.S. President Donald Trump last week.

Trump said the government was banning American companies from using telecom technology and services provided by entities deemed a national security threat, a move apparently targeting Huawei.

"We need to check whether our customers will be able to safely use Huawei smartphones amid concerns over Google's (future) move," a SoftBank spokesman said.

Google said Tuesday in a statement it will be able to provide software updates and security patches to existing Huawei smartphones as the U.S. Commerce Department eased restrictions to let American firms offer maintenance work for the Chinese mobile phone maker for 90 days.

Still, concerns remain over services for Huawei's new smartphones as it is uncertain whether popular applications such as Gmail and Youtube offered by Google can be used on the handsets in the future.

The developments come despite Huawei's efforts to ensure it will continue offering services without disruption.

"There will be no impact on our existing products and services," Wu Bo, Huawei Device Co.'s regional president covering Japan and Korea, told reporters on Tuesday in Tokyo.

A Huawei senior official said the company is planning to introduce its own operating system for its smartphones possibly this fall as a countermeasure to the U.S. restrictions, according to the Chinese media.

The Chinese mobile phone manufacturer had the fifth-largest smartphone shipment volume in Japan accounting for 6.2 percent of the total in the year ended in March after Apple Inc., Sharp Corp., Sony Mobile Communications Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co.

Notable: Mossad also has VC wing.

Mossad and the Rise of the VC-Spy Alliance

The growth of intelligence agencies in the 21st century has been powered by the development of new technologies, created by start-ups, which are powered by intelligence agencies. This unvirtuous circle of money and espionage is a new and daunting challenge for civil liberties and human rights groups.

The U.S intelligence community has a venture capital organization, Inqtel, founded by the CIA in 1999. Now Israel’s Mossad has Libertad Ventures.

As The Times of Israel reports

Libertad was set up as a strategic investment arm of the Mossad. Its purpose is to help build the organization’s technological capabilities and create a bridge to the Israeli startup industry. Since its establishment, the fund has received hundreds of applications from both Israeli and foreign entrepreneurs, the statement said. The Mossad, the Shin Bet security agency and even the Israeli army are stepping out of the shadows and opening up to working with civilian firms, as greater cooperation is needed .

“Stepping out of the shadows” is another way of saying intelligence services are increasingly open about what they used to do secretly.

Inqtel’s board of trustees is an all-star team of Silicon Valley bankers and intelligence agency operatives, including former CIA director George Tenet. Its alumni includes dozens of high tech firms. Libertad, by contrast, says it will not disclose the name of companies it funds.

The alliance of venture capital and secret intelligence professionals serves the needs of both. The technologists gets funding. The spies get cutting edge tools to surveill enemies, control dissidents, and wage war: spyware, facial recognition technology, and autonomous weapons to name a few.

Some of these technologies may make the public safer–detection of chemical and nuclear weapons–but all of them make secret intelligence agencies stronger.

Israeli’s NSO Group exemplifies the VC-spy alliance. Created by veterans of Israeli signals intelligence service in 2011, NSO created the Pegasus software that can covertly take control of a mobile phone, copy its data and turn on the microphone for surveillance, all via a single phone call via What’sApp. NSO spyware has been licensed to dozens of countries including Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Bahrain and the UAE.

In February, Novalpina Capital, a London-based hedge fund, bought a controlling interest in the NSO Group. Spyware, it seems, is a high-growth investment opportunity.

U.S. Adopts Al-Qaeda Claims On Chemical Attack, Promises “Quick And Appropriate” Response

The U.S. has adopted claims of the former branch of al-Qaeda in Syria, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), accusing the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) of carrying out a “chemical attack” on the town of Kabani in northern Lattakia on May 19.

In an official statement by the Department of State, Washington said that it is monitoring “signs” that the SAA may be “renewing its use of chemical weapons.”

Washington based its accusations on the claims of HTS, which said that SAA targeted positions of its “Mujahedeen” near Kabani with three munitions loaded with “chlorine gas.” The terrorist group itself acknowledged that nobody was killed or even injured in the supposed attack.

“We are still gathering information on this incident, but we repeat our warning that if the Assad regime uses chemical weapons, the United States and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately,” the Department of State said in its statement that was released on May 21.

The Department of State didn’t only adopt al-Qaeda narrative, but went on to claim the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had proved that chemical weapons were used by the SAA in previous cases. This is false. The state department even accused the SAA and Russian forces of “fabricating” the November 24 chemical attack on the government-controlled city of Aleppo.

These accusations provoked response from both pro-government and pro-opposition sources. Even the widely known pro-opposition outlet, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) deounced the US claims.

In a press release posted on its official Facebook page, the UK-based monitoring group slammed the U.S. accusations, saying that no “chemical attack was documented in northern Lattakia”. The group also confirmed that there are no civilians in the region, which is occupied by HTS and other “Jihadi” groups.

“I don’t know how the U.S. is adopting the information of the al-Nusra Front [HTS’ original name] in a region, where only al-Nusra’s members are present … I don’t know why the U.S. is adopting something that we found no evidence for on the ground,” director of the SOHR, Rami Abd al-Rahman, said in a phone call with the BBC on May 21.

The Department of State’s statement is the clearest evidence of how the U.S. uses the “chemical weapons” pretext to pressure Damascus, even if this means empowering terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda.

Report: Man Arrested on Terror Charges After Discussing Bombing Trump Tower

A New Jersey man is under arrest on terror charges after holding discussions about bombing Trump Tower and New York City’s Israeli Consulate, according to NBC 4 report, citing law enforcement sources. The suspect, 20-year-old Jonathan Xie of Basking Ridge, was taken into police custody Wednesday morning on charges stemming from attempting to provide material support to a designated terror group, making a threat of interstate commerce, and making false statements. NBC 4 further reports the man made false statements to enlist in the U.S. military and transferred funds overseas to aid Hamas terrorists. Xie is said to have also issued a series of threats to “pro-Israel” organizations in the U.S.

Prosecutors say he went as far as completing a Security Clearance Application for National Security Positions in February and answered “no” to the question “Have you ever associated with anyone involved in activities to further terrorism.” An error occurred in the application processing and he had to do it again 10 days later. Again, he answered no to that question. […] Last month, FBI surveillance saw Xie outside Trump Tower in Manhattan. Shortly thereafter, according to Instagram records, he posted two photos to his account, one with the words “[S]hould I bomb Trump Tower,” a “Yes/No” poll and an emoji of a bomb imposed over the Trump Tower building image.

In a follow-up post, criminal complaint records say the suspect then posted on Instagram, writing: “Okay, so I went to NYC today and passed by Trump Tower and then I started laughing hysterically . . . s*** I forgot to visit the Israeli embassy in NYC … i want to bomb this place along with trump tower.” He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Newark in the coming hours, law enforcement sources told NBC 4.

McCabe reveals he’s the one who decided to remove Strzok from Mueller’s team

It's long been gospel in the Russia probe: When special counsel Robert Mueller learned of the inflammatory anti-Trump text messages FBI agent Peter Strzok sent, he immediately removed him from his team.

But in a newly released transcript of a December 2017 interview, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told lawmakers that he's the one who made the call to oust Strzok from the probe, worrying that Strzok's involvement could taint the special counsel's work.

In a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, McCabe said he learned of Strzok's text messages on July 27, 2017, and made a quick decision.

"I made the decision to remove him from the investigation that evening," McCabe said at the time.

"That very day you decided to remove him?" Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked.

"I came back from my meeting with the inspector general. I met with a very small group of my fellow leaders. We discussed Peter's reassignment, and we discussed where we would place him," McCabe replied.

It’s unclear whether Mueller was informed at the time.

Chinese airlines demand compensation from Boeing over 737 Max grounding

Hong Kong(CNN Business) Three of China's largest airlines have joined a growing list of carriers demanding compensation from Boeing over the grounding of its 737 Max aircraft.

Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines told CNN Business on Wednesday that they have asked to be reimbursed for costs they have incurred since the plane was deemed unsafe to fly following two crashes.

They cited losses caused by being unable to fly the aircraft and delayed deliveries of more jets.

The companies did not disclose how much in damages they are seeking from Boeing (BA).

China Southern has as many as 24 737 Max jets and Air China has 15 of the planes in its fleet, spokespeople for the companies said. China Eastern has 14 737 Max planes, according to Chinese state-run media.

The 737 Max, Boeing's best-selling plane, has been grounded since March. China was the first country to ban the 737 Max 8 from its skies after an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed earlier that month, killing all 157 people on board. That followed another tragic incident in October, when a 737 Max 8 operated by Lion Air crashed off of Indonesia, leaving 189 passengers dead.

The grounding has already cost airlines hundreds of millions of dollars. American Airlines (AAL), Southwest Airlines (LUV) and Norwegian Air all revealed last month that the loss of the troubled plane has forced them to cancel a growing number of flights, and will cost them nearly $600 million combined.

Norwegian Air and Flydubai, budget carriers in Europe and the Middle East respectively, have also demanded money back from Boeing recently, and Turkish Air and Ryanair (RYAAY) are reportedly seeking compensation, too. Ryanair and Turkish Air did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN Business.

The continuing crisis is already hurting Boeing's bottom line. The company reported in April that profits fell 21% in the first quarter of this year because of safety questions clouding the company's reputation.

Airlines have completely stopped ordering the jet in the wake of the two crashes. There were zero orders for the 737 Max in March, and only 10 purchases in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 112 in the same period last year, according to data released by Boeing last month.

Fluoride chemicals added to U.S. drinking water are unprocessed TOXIC WASTE

Having access to fluoridated drinking water that can supposedly improve your dental health sounds like a first-world luxury on the surface – but the truth is that it’s a recipe for ill health and experts are calling for this dangerous practice to be stopped.

In fact, America is one of very few developed countries that fluoridates its water, with Green Med Info reporting that just 5 percent of the world’s population consumes this type of water. More people in America drink it than in all other nations combined, and we’re paying the price in terms of our health.

That’s because the fluoride chemicals that are placed in our drinking water are actually unprocessed toxic waste products. Most people never take the time to question where all that fluoride added to our water comes from, and the answer is shocking: It is generally pollutants captured from the phosphate fertilizer industry in Florida or chemical imports that come from China, known for a lack of regulation and adulteration. These chemicals aren’t purified before they’re added to drinking water, and it’s not at all unusual for them to contain significant amounts of heavy metals like arsenic, mercury and lead.

Fluoride’s many dangers outweigh any possible benefits

Researchers have expressed concerns about the lack of regulation and safety of fluoride additives. Studies have shown it’s a neurotoxin that can be linked to problems like lower IQ in children, premature birth, neurological development impairments, autism, and preeclampsia. In fact, some experts believe the unusually high rate of premature birth in the U.S. could be related to the practice of fluoridating water.

US Military Developing Wireless Tech to Control Weapons With Your Mind

DARPA wants to wirelessly connect human brains to machines, allowing soldiers to fully control weapon systems, view things remotely like a Three-Eyed Raven, or feel stuff remotely.

Imagine the potential applications, not only for military control of airplanes and weapons, but also for civilian uses, from controlling artificial vision systems to completely immersive virtual reality systems that will transport your consciousness to alternate relatives.

It’s the stuff of science fiction, but scientists have already made some advances in the field. The first human neuroprosthetic devices appeared in the mid-1990s, allowing patients to crudely control artificial limbs. But those required surgical interventions. More experiments during the early 2010s showed that scientists could reconstruct people’s vision into digital video, but that’s far from being real time. Most recently, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have figured out how to connect two brains, using a machine to transfer information wirelessly.

Now Darpa wants to take this nascent technology to its inevitable conclusion. According to the agency, the N3 project — Next-Generation Non-Surgical Neurotechnology — aims to “create reliable neural interfaces without the need for surgery or implanted electrodes.”

Notable: Trump admin withholding wildfire assistance to California

Trump Administration Withholding Wildfire Assistance To California After Audit Suggests Financial Mismanagement

The Trump administration is withholding over $9 million in wildfire assistance to California after a financial audit suggested the state was overbilling the U.S. Forest Service for costs incurred fighting fires on federal lands, officials said. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) said the withheld funds from the original $72 million reimbursement request are owed to local fire departments for costs incurred during the 2018 wildfire season, which took the lives of at least 85 people. The Forest Service said it needs to see the receipts before disbursing any more funds under the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA).

“The audit found that the current CFAA does not result in reimbursement of actual expenses to local fire departments,” the Forest Service said in a statement Wednesday to the Los Angeles Times. “Our intentions are to fully reimburse the State of California for all of their actual expenses. The only payments that we have not made are those that do not have documentation that substantiate actual expenses.” The Cal OES said the federal government is unfairly changing the terms of the CFAA at the tail-end of the five-year agreement set to expire in 2020. Under the original terms of the agreement, the state would submit the average personnel costs incurred by the thousands of firefighters fighting wildfires on federal lands each year, but now the Forest Service is requesting a line-item tabulation of salary, travel and other expenses incurred by each firefighter.

President Donald Trump said in November 2018 that California’s “gross mismanagement of the forests” was the cause of 2018’s deadly wildfire season, and threatened to withhold federal assistance if changes weren’t made. The president’s comments drew the ire of Senate Republicans such as Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Cory Gardner of Colorado. Cal OES Fire Chief Brian Marshall said in a letter to the Forest Service that its requirements “would be cumbersome and would severely impact California’s ability to respond to fires,” especially for smaller fire departments heavily reliant on volunteers. The typical California wildfire season runs from summer to early autumn.

Marshall said he was only briefed on portions of the audit’s findings, and accused the federal government of withholding its full results. “It wasn’t a typical audit that you see from the government. It was a PowerPoint; it wasn’t an audit. They said ‘overcharging.’ But they also said ‘undercharging,'” Marshall told the Times. “They won’t tell us if they’re going to be able to pay our volunteers or not.” Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California urged the Department of Agriculture and Forest Service in a May 14 letter to delay the implementation of the audit findings until renegotiations of the CFAA at the end of 2019. “As you know, around 60 percent of forested land in California is owned by the federal government,” Feinstein said. “Wildfires don’t stop at jurisdictional boundaries, so a unified federal-state approach is the only way to properly protect lives and property … Given increased wildfire risks in recent years, I do not believe that any action should be taken to jeopardize that partnership.” But the Forest Service insists it will not relent on its new reporting requirements. “The Forest Service is ultimately accountable to American taxpayers and has the responsibility to practice due diligence in review of all fire-related claims made by local governments,” the service told McClatchy on Monday. “The audit found several areas where the CFAA is not being managed to ensure mutual benefit between the Forest Service and the State of California.” The Forest Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

With Acquisition of California Port, China Broadens Influence on US Commerce

In recent weeks, numerous national security concerns have been raised regarding Chinese corporations and their increasing ownership of American businesses and trading ports. This alarm comes in the wake of China’s largest shipping company, Cosco Shipping Holdings Co., taking control of a major US trade terminal in Long Beach, California. The Long Beach acquisition is part of Cosco’s six-billion-dollar buyout of rival Asian shipping giant, the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas International Ltd.

Whereas Cosco’s ownership of the California port is a smart move for the Chinese economy, American trade insiders have expressed skepticism over the acquisition’s benefits for the United States, worried it may jeopardize national security.

35 arrests in human sex trafficking sting in Warren

Christina Hall, Detroit Free Press

Nearly three dozen johns and prostitutes were hauled out of hotels and motels in Warren this week as police began a crackdown on human sex trafficking in the city.

Seventeen women and 18 men from across metro Detroit were arrested during the first phase of Operation Crusade — from communities as far away as Farmington Hills and Bellevue and as close as Detroit and Roseville.

The three-day sweep started Tuesday and ended Friday morning and involved undercover male and female officers, Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said. One private residence in the city also was involved in the sweep.

Five Sailors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Charged with Sexual Assault

AUSTIN, Texas – Five sailors were arrested Friday at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas on charges that the men sexually assaulted a woman last year, law enforcement officials said.

The sailors arrested are Mauricio Chaparro, 28, Kenneth Johnson, 20, Anthony Cooney, 21, Dominick Burns, 20, and Kyle Tuschmann, 19, said Adelina Simpson, a spokeswoman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Department. The sailors spent the weekend in a county detention center and arrived Tuesday at a jail in Hays County, where the charges are filed. It is located just north of San Antonio, which is in Bexar County.

A Hays County grand jury indicted the men on April 24, each on four counts of aggravated sexual assault and with a bond of $500,000, according to indictment records. Burns, Cooney and Tuschmann are accused of performing sexual acts on the same woman and the other two men are listed as "intentionally and knowingly" participating in the crime, according to the records.

Police were called to the scene of the incident at about 10:13 p.m. on May 19, 2018, according to a San Marcos police report. A woman said she'd been sexually assaulted in the back of a truck at San Marcos' Rio Vista Park. The incident report states the woman initially did not want to pursue charges, but returned to a police station the next day and was cooperative.

Hays County District Attorney Wes Mau said Tuesday that he could not comment further on the case.

Bexar County Sheriff's Department took the five men into custody about 2 p.m. Friday at Lackland Air Force Base to transfer the sailors to Hays County, where they were indicted on the charges, Simpson said.

Base personnel escorted the men just outside the gates at Lackland, where local authorities arrested them, said Cmdr. James Stockman, spokesman for the Naval Education and Training Command.

The men all were students at the Navy's Master at Arms Apprenticeship Training at the Naval Technical Training Center in May 2018, located at Lackland, Stockman said. The seven-week training course prepares sailors to enter Navy law enforcement careers such as base security or dog handlers.

They had remained at the center "suspended in training status due to alleged misconduct," Stockman said.

154 arrested during undercover Florida prostitution, human trafficking sting

MAY 21, 2019 (embedded 3 minute clip of official press announcement.)

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) — A massive undercover operation has resulted in the arrests of over 150 people.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrests of 154 people after a six-day operation entitled “Operation No Spring Fling.”

The sheriff’s office said a 17-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman were identified as likely victims of human trafficking. A 17-year-old boy who traveled to the undercover location is also being considered a victim of human trafficking.

The 154 suspects range in age from 17 to 69 years of age, and they include 69 prostitutes, 75 people who solicited prostitutes, two people accused of traveling to meet a minor and five people inside the country illegally.

One of the suspects included 34-year-old James Michels who, investigators said, traveled to meet with an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old boy.

Investigators said Michels was HIV-positive yet told the undercover detective that he was not, and that he wanted to have unprotected sex. Authorities also said Michels had child pornography with him when he was arrested, including a piece of evidence showing the sexual battery of a child between 12 and 36 months.

A total of 46 felony charges and 202 misdemeanor charges were filed against the suspects.

House Intel, DOJ Strike Deal Over Counterintelligence Documents

The House Intelligence Committee struck a deal late Tuesday with the Justice Department to avoid a subpoena fight over classified documents related to the Mueller probe.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the panel, said that the Justice Department has agreed to turn over twelve categories of counterintelligence and foreign intelligence materials starting this week

Stephen Boyd, the Justice Department’s congressional liaison, said in a letter that the agency would begin producing the documents contingent on Schiff tabling efforts to vote on any enforcement actions.

“To be clear should the Committee take the precipitous and unnecessary action of recommending a contempt finding or other enforcement action against the attorney general, then the Department will not likely be able to continue to work with the Committee to accommodate its interest in these materials,” Boyd wrote.

On May 8, Schiff subpoenaed the Justice Department for redacted materials in the special counsel’s report, including grand jury information. The subpoena also sought counterintelligence information that was not included in the lightly redacted report.

Schiff’s Republican counterpart, California Rep. Devin Nunes, also signed on to a letter on April 25 requesting counterintelligence materials from the special counsel’s probe, but did not join Schiff on the subpoena.

The Democrat and Republican likely have two separate agendas for wanting to see the information. Schiff hopes to find evidence that the Russian government has compromised President Trump or attempted to infiltrate the campaign. Nunes hopes the documents will shed light on the FBI’s handling of its investigation of Trump and his associates.

The special counsel’s report said that prosecutors were unable to establish that the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election. The report also said that there was not enough evidence to establish that any Trump associates acted as agents of the Russian government.

Notable: Barr puts Clapper and Brennan on notice

Attorney General Barr Puts Former Intel Bosses Clapper, Brennan On Notice

Things seem to be moving quickly now. It has been a remarkable few weeks in American history. Momentum is building toward uncovering the distasteful possibility that the targeting of a U.S. presidential campaign was actually a political operation, fostered at the highest levels of government, masquerading as an FBI counterintelligence investigation.

Attorney General William Barr has signaled that his interest in examining the origins of the investigation into the Trump campaign extends beyond whether the FBI operated “by the book,” as former FBI Director James Comey asserts. Barr also wants to understand the role that the larger intelligence community, or IC, may have played in all of this.

Barr has thrown punches that have left an interesting mix of characters with a standing eight count. Certain eyes around D.C. are a little glassy right now.

Barr’s words and actions are telling. First, he raised the concern that the Trump campaign was “spied” upon. His use of the word “spying” appears more calculated than casual. The wailing and gnashing of teeth that followed is also telling. “The FBI doesn’t spy” became the sputtering counter-refrain of those trying to mask their nervousness.

It’s a fair point that’s beside the point. The FBI is charged with acting under strict legal restrictions and court orders. Spying is not a term traditionally associated with those activities.

But it also misses the point Barr appears to be making. The IC does spy; that’s what they do. Barr may have been referring less to the FBI and more to the IC’s possible murky involvement.

This seems to be validated by Barr’s second haymaker in as many weeks: his appointment of a surrogate investigator, U.S. Attorney John Durham. Why would the attorney general add a third investigation to those under way by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz and U.S. Attorney John Huber? Because those investigations are focused on the FBI. Durham’s assignment is not similarly constrained; his marching orders appear broader.

Through Durham, Barr can start dusting for fingerprints across the government, not just the FBI. The squirming has begun.

In just the past week, we’ve seen a rush to comment by the former directors of national intelligence and the CIA. The FBI’s former general counsel has chimed in publicly and, of course, fired FBI Director Comey has been on a media offensive, practicing character assassination as a strategy with Barr among those in his crosshairs.

Notable: Questions raised over Florida Cabinet meeting in Israel

Questions raised over Florida Cabinet meeting in Israel

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is going to Israel with a large contingent of business leaders — not surprisingly, especially as the GOP woos Jewish voters ahead of the 2020 presidential election. But DeSantis' plan to hold a meeting with his elected Cabinet while he's there has raised concerns about whether officials are violating the state's open-meeting laws.

When DeSantis first announced the trade mission, he noted that his attorney general, chief financial officer and agriculture commissioner would accompany him, and that the Cabinet would hold a meeting at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem during the trip, which runs from May 25 to May 31.

Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried had previously planned a trade mission to the country, but there was no apparent reason why the other two were going, except for the Cabinet meeting.

"I see no reason to hold a Cabinet meeting in Israel," said Barbara Petersen, president of the open-government watchdog group First Amendment Foundation. "And we still don't have an agenda, so I don't know what they will be doing at that meeting."

By law, the state has to post an agenda seven days before the independently elected Cabinet members meet, except during an emergency. As of Tuesday, the Cabinet website not only didn't list an agenda for the meeting, it didn't even have the meeting on the calendar.

DeSantis' office isn't talking about his Israel plans, citing security issues. The Associated Press has made several requests to interview the governor about the trip by phone or in person, and his office said he wasn't available.

Even Cabinet officials said they didn't know what is on the agenda because the meeting is being organized by the governor's office. Fried speculated that it could be largely ceremonial.

"To have all four of us going over to show our support for the state of Israel and economic development between the two countries I think is the bigger picture," she said.

The Cabinet, which also includes Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody and Republican Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, is scheduled to meet in Tallahassee less than a week after the officials return home — another sign it will handle state business at home while focusing the meeting abroad on its support for and ties with Israel.

Still, Cabinet meetings are supposed to be accessible for all. But unless they want to pay close to $2,000 for a round-trip airline ticket, not many regular Floridians will be able to attend — even if they can figure out when it's going to be held.

The FLORIDA Channel, a state-funded video service run by WFSU-TV that covers state government meetings, plans to travel to Israel, but it is still working out details on how to get the content back to Florida.

"They should have an agenda up and they should be telling people where and when it's going to be," Petersen said of the governor's office. "It's nuts."

Bipartisan Group of Representatives, Including Thomas Massie and Barbara Lee, Hold Press Conference to #StopEndlessWar

A bipartisan group of representatives came together on Wednesday to stand against war with Iran and call for the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force to be repealed.

Speakers at the #StopEndlessWar press conference on Capitol Hill included Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Barbara Lee.

On Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee approved Rep. Lee’s amendment to the annual defense spending bill that would end the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF). The vote comes amid a rising push from neocons to go to war with Iran.

“The 2001 AUMF has been used as a blank check for endless war by three Administrations,” said Rep. Lee in a statement. “As the Trump Administration escalates tensions with Iran, it is more important than ever for Congress to reassert its constitutional authority. We must start by repealing the overly broad 2001 AUMF and do our job to debate and vote on any replacement.”

The AUMF was passed in the days following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and have since been used to authorize conflict 41 times in 18 countries — without congressional authorization. Rep. Lee was the only member of congress to vote against it at the time.

Notable: Did Brennan convene a secret task force at CIA HQ in 2016?

in the summer of 2016:

CIA Director John Brennan convened a secret task force at CIA headquarters composed of several dozen analysts and officers from the CIA, the NSA and the FBI…It functioned as a “sealed compartment” hidden even from the rest of the U.S. intelligence community; a unit whose workers were all made to sign additional non-disclosure forms.”

They worked exclusively for two groups of “customers,” officials said. The first was Obama and fewer than 14 senior officials in government. The second was a team of operations specialists at the CIA, NSA and FBI who took direction from the task force on where to aim their subsequent efforts to collect more intelligence on Russia.

The article said that initially, only four senior officials were allowed access to the Russian investigation intelligence. This group included Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-FBI Director James Comey.

Gradually, the circle widened to include Vice President Biden and others. Agendas sent to Cabinet secretaries — including John F. Kerry at the State Department and Ashton B. Carter at the Pentagon

BARR:

It was sort of an ad hoc, small group — and most of these people are no longer with the FBI or the CIA or the other agencies involved. I think there’s a misconception out there that we know a lot about what happened. The fact of the matter is, Bob Mueller did not look at the government’s activities.

Tesla drops for sixth straight session, down 20% since share offer

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Shares of Tesla fell for a sixth straight session on Wednesday after Citi cut its price target on the struggling electric car maker, leaving buyers of its recent share offer,

including Chief Executive Elon Musk, $167 million in the hole.

Tesla’s stock dropped 4.3% to $196.10, on track to close below $200 for the first time since late 2016. It has tumbled 20% since the company sold a $1.84 billion convertible bond and almost $900 million of stock on May 2 to raise fresh capital and give it more time to stop losing money.

Citi analyst Itay Michaeli, who has a “sell” rating on Tesla, cut his price target to $191 from $238. He pointed to a an email Musk sent to employees last week, telling them he would increase cost-cutting, and that the $2.7 billion in recently raised capital would give Tesla just 10 months to break even at the rate it burned cash in the first quarter.

“The recent reported internal memo, which seemingly called into question prior guidance, didn’t help the risk/reward calculus. The implications can be serious, since an automaker’s balance sheet is always subject to the confidence ‘spiral’ risk,” Michaeli wrote in a client note.

Musk is battling to convince investors that demand remains high for the Model 3, the sedan targeted to propel Tesla to sustainable profit, and that it can be delivered efficiently and swiftly to customers around the world. Tesla lost $702 million in the first quarter and warned that profit would be delayed until the latter half of the year.

Musk on Tuesday exercised options to buy 175,000 Tesla shares at $31.17 per share, increasing his indirect stake in the company to 34,102,560 shares, according to a filing. With Tesla’s stock down 41% year to date, Musk’s shares, including 102,880 he bought in this month’s capital raise, were worth $6.7 billion on Wednesday.

Tesla’s debt has stalled at lows hit earlier this week. Its recently issued convertible bond due in 2024 priced at 89.09 cents on the dollar, a record low. Its $1.8 billion junk bond traded at 82.5 cents on the dollar, slightly up from the all-time lows it hit on Monday and Tuesday.

The cost to insure Tesla’s debt, as measured by its credit default swap, edged up to roughly 28% of the face value of Tesla’s 2025 bond, from 27.6 % the day before.

Notable: Amazon shareholders reject facial recognition sale ban to governments

Amazon shareholders reject facial recognition sale ban to governments

(see cap#2 for the list of "shareholders".)

Amazon shareholders have rejected two proposals that would have requested the company not to sell its facial recognition technology to government customers.

The breakdown of the votes is not immediately known. A filing with the vote tally is expected later this week.

The first proposal would have requested Amazon to limit the sale of its Rekognition technology to police, law enforcement and federal agencies. A second resolution would have demanded an independent human and civil rights review into the use of the technology.

It followed accusations that the technology has bias and inaccuracies, which critics say can be used to racially discriminate against minorities.

The votes were non-binding, allowing the company to reject the outcome of the vote.

But the vote was almost inevitably set to fail. Following his divorce, Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos retains 12 percent of the company’s stock as well as the voting rights in his ex-wife’s remaining stake. The company’s top four institutional shareholders, including The Vanguard Group, Blackrock, FMR and State Street, collectively hold about the same amount of voting rights as Bezos.

The resolutions failed despite an effort by the ACLU to back the measures, which the civil liberties group accused the tech giant of being “non-responsive” to privacy concerns.

In remarks, Shankar Narayan, ACLU of Washington, said: “The fact that there needed to be a vote on this is an embarrassment for Amazon’s leadership team. It demonstrates shareholders do not have confidence that company executives are properly understanding or addressing the civil and human rights impacts of its role in facilitating pervasive government surveillance.”

“While we have yet to see the exact breakdown of the vote, this shareholder intervention should serve as a wake-up call for the company to reckon with the real harms of face surveillance and to change course,” he said.

The civil liberties group rallied investors ahead of the Wednesday annual meeting in Seattle, where the tech giant has its headquarters. In a letter, the group said the sale of Amazon’s facial recognition tech to government agencies “fundamentally alters the balance of power between government and individuals, arming governments with unprecedented power to track, control, and harm people.”

Amazon pushed back against claims that the technology is inaccurate, and called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to block the shareholder proposal prior to its annual shareholder meeting.

Notable: New restrictions on sharing of military operations with Congress

Shanahan orders new restrictions on sharing of military operations with Congress: report

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has ordered new restrictions on how the Pentagon shares information about international military operations with Congress, according to an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post.

The May 8 document lists criteria for when Defense Department officials are allowed to provide congressional offices or committees with information regarding operational plans and orders, according to the newspaper.

The memo comes amid criticism from Capitol Hill that the Trump administration is withholding information to impede a slate of oversight probes in the House. Some lawmakers have also expressed concerns that the Defense Department is becoming too involved in President Trump’s immigration policy, according to the Post

“Congress oversees the Department of Defense; but with this new policy, the department is overstepping its authority by presuming to determine what warrants legislative oversight,” Reps. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Mac Thornberry (R-Tex.), the chair and ranking Republican of the House Armed Services Committee, told the Post.

The Pentagon hit back at the criticism, saying the new policy is intended to increase transparency between the Pentagon and Congress.

“In establishing this policy, Secretary Shanahan seeks to increase transparency and information-sharing with Congress. Under his direction, the Department of Defense has been engaging with the Senate and House Armed Services Committees to develop a process for providing Congress with access to plans and operational orders, including Executive Orders. This policy establishes such a process. Previously, no such policy existed,” Joe Buccino, a spokesman for Shanahan, said in a statement to The Hill.

The memo, which was reportedly shared widely within the Pentagon but was sent to key lawmakers after inquiries from The Post, lists six guidelines for information sharing with Capitol Hill.

The document orders military officials and political appointees to determine whether a congressional request “contains sufficient information to demonstrate a relationship to the legislative function” and urges officials to provide a summary briefing instead of the requested plan or order itself.

It also gives responsibility for evaluating congressional requests to the undersecretary of defense for policy, often a political appointee. Officials across the Pentagon previously responded to requests on an ad hoc basis.

The memo appears to arise from worries that lawmakers could leak military plans, calling on officials to evaluate “whether the degree of protection from unauthorized disclosure that Congress will afford to the plan is equivalent to that afforded” by the Pentagon, according to The Post.

The memo “seems to be another way in which they can claim that they don’t need to respond to legitimate inquiry of Congress,” Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told the Post.

“From what I can glean from the memorandum basically they can use any factor they want to say no and they can make a determination what they think we need to do our job,” he continued. “I think we’re better positioned to determine what we need to do our job.”

An anonymous Pentagon official told The Post that the agency’s officials had been worried about potential congressional interference in the formulation of military plans, what the Defense Department considers to be an executive branch function. The official added that Congress had been most interested in Special Operations activities, which are highly sensitive and have produced significant public backlash in recent years.

Shanahan is due to appear in an upcoming confirmation hearing in front of the Senate after Trump nominated him to be Secretary of Defense, a position Shanahan has taken on an Acting basis after the resignation of James Mattis.

Notable: Another Clinton / Obama connected suicide, Professor Alan B. Krueger

https://seattletest.com/former-obama-and-clinton-official-found-dead-of-apparent-suicide-2

Another person with direct ties to Clinton and Obama has supposedly commited suicide, according to reports.

Professor Alan Krueger was found dead in his home, according to Princeton Police.

Krueger served as a top adviser to Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

The 58-year-old committed suicide, his family said in a separate statement released by the school Monday, New York Post reports.

“It is with tremendous sadness we share that Professor Alan B. Krueger, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and Princeton professor of economics took his own life over the weekend,” the family said. “The family requests the time and space to grieve and remember him.”

Krueger served as a Labor Department economist under Clinton, then as a top Treasury official for Obama. From 2011 to 2013, he was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

But we tend to find the death suspicious.

This man was totally successful and actually has a book scheduled to be released in June.

He had everything to live for so why commit suicide?

There are many theories floating around on social media:

“Why did Alan Krueger commit suicide when he has a book coming out June of 2019?”

“Hmm I wonder what dirt he had on the Clintons?” another person asked.

“Well looks like the Suicide wave has started now that more evidence is surfacing. I wonder who is next!” another said.

“Oh, please, here we go again. How many people associated with the Clintons have committed “suicide” for one reason or another? It’s becoming a national epidemic. Of course, nothing will be done about it and no honest investigation will be allowed to open the Clinton graveyard and reopen the cases of people who committed “suicide,”‘ another peson wrote.

“The Clinton Hitman is the best you never heard of. CIA should have hired him- he might teach their assassins a thing or two. But then, he (or she) has never been named. Whomever is damned good,” another person said.

“Various contractors hired through the CIA’s database of known hit men. Hillary probably has them on Speed Dial.”

One thing for sure, he will never be able to testify against any of these people if he had dirt because he is dead.

You have to wonder what really happened.

We will never know.

Krueger is survived by his wife, Lisa, and two adult children, Benjamin and Sydney.

Rest in peace.

God Bless.

Oil sheds more than $1/bbl as U.S. inventories grow, demand worries flare

U.S. crude inventories rise to highest since July 2017

* U.S. gasoline stocks also show surprise build

* Saudi pledges to keep oil markets balanced, sustainable

NEW YORK, May 22 (Reuters) - Oil futures sank on Wednesdayas an unexpected build in U.S. crude stockpiles compoundedinvestor worries that a prolonged trade war between Washingtonand Beijing could dent crude demand.

Brent crude futures LCOc1 shed $1.01 a barrel, or 1.4%, to$71.17 a barrel by 11:07 a.m. EDT (1507 GMT). U.S. West TexasIntermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 dropped $1.28 a barrel,or 2.0%, to $61.85.

U.S. crude inventories swelled by 4.7 million barrels in thelatest week to their highest since July 2017, the U.S. EnergyInformation Administration reported. Analysts polled by Reutershad forecast a decrease of 599,000 barrels as refineries cutoutput.

"It's at the extreme end of the range of possibilities for a bearish report," said Bob Yawger, director of futures at Mizuhoin New York. "It's about as bad as it could have been considering the fact that driving season is so close."

Gasoline stocks posted a surprise build as well, rising by3.7 million barrels compared with analysts' expectations for an 816,000-barrel drop.

The prospect of a long-term tariff fight between China andthe United States also pressured prices. No further talksbetween top officials have been scheduled since the last roundended in a stalemate on May 10.

The conflict is weighing on economic growth forecasts andoil demand predictions. The Organization for EconomicCo-Operation and Development (OECD) on Tuesday revised down itsglobal growth forecast for the year.

Growing tensions between the United States and Iran, whichcould to supply disruptions, helped limit losses.

The prospect that the Organization of the PetroleumExporting Countries and its allies will continue its output cutpact later into the year was also supportive.

Saudi Arabia, OPEC's defacto leader, said it was committedto a balanced and sustainable oil market.

U.S. bank Morgan Stanley said it expected Brent prices totrade in a $75-$80 per barrel range in the second-half of thisyear, pushed up by tight supply and demand fundamentals.

Rockefeller Foundation, Mastercard Team Up On Opportunity Zones

Trump signed the Opportunity Zone legislation (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) in December 2017 and then created the House Opportunity and Revitalization Council by Executive Order in December 2018. With over 8,700 Opportunity Zones identified by state Governors, the money tornado is accelerating. ⁃ TN Editor

The Rockefeller Foundation will spend $5.5 million to help cities take advantage of the opportunity zone program created in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The initiative will give six cities funding for a Chief Opportunity Zone Officer to be embedded in the city government, as well as community engagement specialists who can coordinate investments that will help the community.

Newark, NJ will be the first city in the initiative and will receive $920,000 in funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and Prudential Financial.

Separately, the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and Accelerator for America announced they will partner to help direct opportunity zone investment to distressed communities. The partnership includes an $850,000 grant from the Mastercard Impact Fund, as well as data science work, economic development tools and research.

The opportunity zone program allows investors to get a tax break if they put money into certain businesses and properties in “distressed” areas selected by the state and federal government. More than 8,700 census tracts have been designated as “opportunity zones,” and the Rockefeller Foundation estimates there is more than $6 trillion in unrealized capital gains that could qualify for investment there. However, there’s been concern that the benefits of the investments might only be felt by developers, or that investors might focus their money on gentrification or real estate projects rather than businesses that could foster the community.

Trump busts up White House infrastructure meeting with Democrats, angered by probes

President Trump canceled a scheduled meeting on infrastructure with Democrats on Wednesday, saying he was upset about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggesting he was engaged in a cover-up during special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. "Instead of walking in happily into a meeting, I walk in to look at people that have just said that I was doing a cover-up. I don't do cover-ups," Trump said, speaking in the Rose Garden about 25 minutes after the scheduled start of the meeting with Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

On April 30, the three leaders agreed to jointly push for a $2 trillion infrastructure package, with the details to be determined later.

MOAR FAKE NEWS

They are TRYING to claim that repairs, which means putting up NEW wall where old wall needed to be repaired or replaced, is NOT new wall.

They keep trying to claim this, but the FACT is that repairs ARE new wall, and that because POTUS used footage from 5 months ago (which is still current) that means he's lying:

The Army Corps of Engineers has overseen CBP wall replacement projects including some 124 miles of replacement barriers authorized since Trump took office. As of January, a New York Times analysis indicated that not a single mile of new border wall has been erected along the US-Mexico border wall.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-claim-about-border-wall-construction-used-5-month-old-footage-2019-2

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders insisted Wednesday on TV that the administration will have 500 miles of wall built by year's end and would be twice as far along if Democrats were helping instead of pushing back

Trump said Monday night during a rally in Pennsylvania that 'the wall is being built as we speak.'

'We'll have almost 500 miles of wall by the end of next year,' he boasted, inviting an audience member on stage who was wearing a suit made of brick wall-print fabric.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders upper the ante Wednesday morning, saying the administration will hit that landmark by the end of 2019 and that Letter cited 'an incorrect number.'

'I know that there have been – there's over 100 miles, I think it's close to 115 miles that have been finished,' she said on 'Fox & Friends.'

'We feel comfortable and confident that we're on track to get right around 500 finished by the end of the year,' Sanders insisted.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7058091/Trump-built-2-miles-new-wall-1-57-BILLION-Congress-handed-year.html

WE NEED TO USE CONGRESS' MONEY (that they begrudgingly gave POTUS for the wall) FOR REPAIRS, THEN USE THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY MONEY TO BUILD WALL WHERE THERE IS NOT ALREADY WALL (what they seem to only classify as "new" wall).

So this is FAKE NEWS that POTUS has only built "2 miles of new wall", we have AT LEAST about 130 miles of new wall, and POTUS think by the end of the year we could have 500 miles of NEW WALL, both repairs of old wall and wall where none existed.

Steve Cohen Unmasked As Mystery Buyer Of $91 Million Bunny

The mystery buyer who paid $91 million for Jeff Koons' now-infamous rabbit sculpture - a purchase that prompted WSJ to speculate about the art market entering a "frothy period" - has been unmasked: According to ArtNet, it's Steve Cohen.

Cohen's motives in buying the piece are unclear. Did Cohen feel like treating himself after making it through 2018 without attracting more legal scrutiny from the SEC? Or did he simply want to remind the world that, although the name on the door has changed, he's still the Steve Cohen.

n any case, the match makes sense: Though Cohen had previously denied making the purchase, he is one of the world's foremost collectors of art, and his personal collection has amassed dozens of invaluable works.

Robert Mnuchin, art dealer and father of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, placed the winning bid on behalf of his client (now believed to be Cohen). But he has refused to comment on reports of Cohen's identity, and had previously refused to discuss the identity of the buyer.

The 3-foot-tall stainless steel inflatable rabbit statue was part of a group of works consigned by the Newhouse family. Cohen's winning bid was part of $2 billion in sales made during Christie's postwar and contemporary art evening auction last week.

Though the disclosure of his identity was likely inevitable, it makes sense why Cohen might want to conceal his involvement in the sale. After a year where Point72 beat its benchmarks (and most other funds) but nevertheless failed to achieve the stunning double-digit returns for which Cohen's previous firm, SAC Capital, had once been known, investors probably want to see Cohen focused more on their portfolios than his art collection, especially as his fund seeks out another $1 billion in outside money.

https://apnews.com/5e81a57aa17d4ca7a0c02f89c8efe421?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=APBusiness

But it could also be a matter of not looking in the right place. Oxford University researchers studying tweets related to the EU elections found that only a small fraction came from Russian or “junk news” sources while mainstream news stories dominated.

However, some junk news stories can be several times more popular than those from professional media organizations, with the most successful centered on populist themes such as anti-immigration and Islamophobia while few attacked European leaders and parties or voiced skepticism about the EU, according to the researchers, who compiled about 585,000 tweets in seven European languages.

“Almost none of the junk we found circulating online came from known Russian sources,” said Nahema Marchal, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute. “Instead, it is homegrown, hyper-partisan and alternative media that dominate.”

It’s also become harder to keep track of disinformation as more online conversations go private, said Clara Jiménez Cruz, co-founder of Spanish fact-checking group Maldita.es.

Twitter posts or public Facebook feeds are only part of the story, with many messages and discussions now moving to private Facebook groups or encrypted WhatsApp and Telegram chats, which EU and national governments can’t easily monitor, she said.

Avaaz said in a report that millions of potential Spanish voters were flooded with false, misleading, racist or hateful posts on WhatsApp ahead of national elections last month.

On WhatsApp, where it’s so hard for outsiders to peer into private conversations to debunk lies, “that is where we find most of the hoaxes,” said Jiménez. “And especially where we find them first.”

Libya's Hifter meets French leader Macron amid fighting

Libyan commander Khalifa Hifter was in Paris Wednesday for meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron amid growing international concern about his weeks-long offensive to take Libya's capital, Tripoli.

The closed-door meeting comes two weeks after Macron hosted Libya's struggling U.N.-backed prime minister, who has denounced Hifter's offensive as an attempted coup.

Macron's office has expressed support for Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj but hasn't openly addressed claims that France is secretly backing Hifter.

The fighting over Tripoli erupted on April 4, with the self-styled Libyan National Army led by Hifter and aligned with a rival government in eastern Libya, launching a push on the country's capital, located in the west, and militias loosely allied with the U.N.-supported government in Tripoli.

The death toll from the fighting stood at 510 on Sunday, according to the World Health Organization, mainly combatants but also including civilians. Tens of thousands have been displaced or trapped by Hifter's offensive.

The U.N. envoy for Libya warned on Tuesday that the oil-rich nation was "on the verge of descending into a civil war" that could imperil its neighbors. Ghassan Salame told the Security Council that extremists from the Islamic State group and al-Qaida are already exploiting the security vacuum.

Libya has been split between rival authorities in east and west since 2014, with each side backed by various militias. Hifter's forces have battled Islamic extremists and other rival factions across eastern Libya, and recently made inroads in the south.

Hifter presents himself as a strong hand that can restore stability after years of chaos that transformed Libya into a haven for armed groups and a major conduit for migrants bound for Europe. His opponents, however, view him as an aspiring autocrat and fear the country could return to one-man rule as under longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who was ousted and killed in 2011.

Netherlands Probing If Huawei Is Using ‘Secret Back Doors’ to Customer Data and Spying for Beijing, Report Says

BRUSSELS—The Netherlands’ national intelligence agency has begun an investigation into whether Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is using “secret back doors” to access customer data, according to security sources. Operatives at the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), based in The Hague, are looking into whether the firm has enabled spying on a mass scale by the Chinese regime, the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant reported. In April, the intelligence agency warned it would be “undesirable for the Netherlands to depend on the hardware or software of companies from countries running active cyber programs against Dutch interests.”

They also recommended limiting the use of Huawei in the country’s 5G network and phasing the company—which works with three of the country’s biggest networks—out of much of the existing infrastructure for older 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile internet networks. A spokesman for the AIVD declined to comment on the newspaper report, saying: “We don’t say if it’s right or if it’s wrong. We never respond to questions about possible ongoing investigations because that can complicate our work.”

Bart Jacobs, a professor of computer security at Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands, said the news that an investigation had been launched “sounds like a smoking gun, with possible geopolitical consequences,” according to Volkskrant. The report came as three key EU leaders, including the Netherlands’ Prime Minister Mark Rutte, jointly said they would not follow the decision of the United States to shut the Chinese firm out of the European market completely.

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and France’s President Emmanuel Macron also joined the pushback against the United States, saying that if Huawei passes the relevant security checks, it will be allowed to provide some 5G infrastructure. The United States wants to see a total ban on Huawei equipment in 5G networks of allies, hinting that if allies allow Huawei into their 5G networks, there could be less intelligence sharing with them. While visiting the UK recently, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States “has an obligation to ensure the places where we operate, places where U.S. information is, places where we have national security risks, that they operate within trusted networks and that is what we will do.” Recent leaked reports indicate that the UK will allow Huawei to provide equipment for non-core elements of its 5G network.

Oh what a beautiful sight it was! President Trump walked into (traditionally blue state) Pennsylvania and was greeted by THOUSANDS of supporters! Many of which had stood outside in the heat waiting all day for him to arrive. Amazing!

Oh, and that’s despite the report from Heavy.com that only less than 5,000 people live in that town: Trump held a rally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania on Monday, May 20, just two days after Biden’s rally in Philadelphia. Trump’s rally was held at the Energy Aviation Hangar in Montoursville, PA. A large crowd was waiting to greet him, even though Montoursville only has a population of about 4,777. So more people were likely at Trump’s rally than the population of the city. The size of the crowd was immense. Official estimates haven’t been released yet, but this story will be updated once they are available.

In other words, not only did they wait all day for him, they drove a long way too! What other President has EVER drawn crowds like this? These are ROCK STAR caliber crowds folks!

Anthony Weiner chowed down on some Mexican food a few days after being released from custody.

Anthony Weiner is on the prowl again – and one of his first orders of business was filling his gut with some Mexican grub in NYC.

The disgraced Congressman and recently released ex-con was chowing down Saturday night at a Mexican restaurant in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. We're told he hit up a place called Rosa Mexicano … a popular chain in the city.

We don't know what Anthony ended up eating, but witnesses say he was with 2 young kids (his, we're guessing) and 2 adult men – and the whole group was whisked away to a private area away from the main dining hall. No Huma in sight.

We're also told one of the guys with him was wearing some sort of badge that seemed like he was with law enforcement. Anthony is under supervised release, so that wouldn't be crazy.

Either way, it's clear AW is trying to move on with his life and get back to normal after his sexting minors case that landed him in prison and a halfway house for 18 months.

Report Shows Online Ties Linking HuffPost, the Guardian, and SPLC to Antifa

Violent protesters identifying as anti-fascist or "Antifa" have harassed various people across the country, demonizing conservatives and particularly those who support President Donald Trump. Activists have bashed people in the head with bike locks, hit their own political allies in the back of the head during protests, and even launched a plot to buy guns from a Mexican cartel to "stage an armed rebellion" at the border, according to an FBI investigation. Despite these attacks and more, journalists with HuffPost, The Guardian, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) have maintained connections with Antifa activists, a new report revealed. The SPLC, which makes its mark by following organizations it accuses of being "hate groups," has taken some flak for refusing to brand Antifa a "hate group." Perhaps this report explains why.

Eoin Lenihan, a former teacher and current analyst focused on online extremism, announced that his team had "mapped the social interactions of 58,254 Antifa affiliated accounts on Twitter based on an initial seed of 16 self-identifying and verifiable Antifa accounts (and Mark Bray who chose not to confirm if he is a member of Antifa but whose book makes a solid case for inclusion)." In a long Twitter thread, Lenihan revealed the results of his study, zeroing in on the 1.65 percent of Twitter accounts most closely connected with Antifa, a total of 962 accounts. Each had a minimum of eight connections with known activists.

After mentioning a few journalists with close Antifa connections and Twitter bios mentioning their anti-fascist affiliation, Lenihan turned to Emily Gorcenski, who "uses Twitter to dox those she deems fascist. Further she created the 'First Vigil' website that processes court documents to share the personal information of suspected members of the far right. In cases where people are found innocent (50%), info is still shared." Then the researcher turned to the journalists who work for HuffPost, The Guardian, and the SPLC.

''

"Jason Wilson writes for the Guardian. In a recent piece in which he reports on an intelligence report by the ROCIC which states that Antifa are responsible for street violence just as the far right are, he heavily relies on Mark Bray as a primary source to attack the report," Lenihan tweeted. "Mark Bray - also in the top 2% of our dataset - & author of Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook (he donated 50% of profits to the Antifa International Defence Fund) is a recurring Wilson source in his columns. Together they downplay Antifa violence & extremism in The Guardian."

''

"Christopher Mathias is a senior writer at [HuffPost] who specialises in the Far Right. In a recent piece he wrote about members of Identity Europa he spread the doxes of several alleged members serving in the military," Lenihan continued. When Mathias doxed these alleged Identity Europa service members, "he had no idea of their innocence or guilt and as of his pinned tweet, the matter is still only under investigation." Mathias took the service members' identities from an Antifa news outlet that published leaked discord servers from Identity Europa. The HuffPost writer "lets Antifa doxers do the heavy work, he does the national level doxing." Lenihan also noted that Mathias outed a "Prominent white supremacist" in HuffPost. That article got the man investigated, but the man was later cleared of wrongdoing and allowed to return to work. ''

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Joins the Atlantic, ABC News

Former Democratic Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has found a new role as a contributor to two major media outlets. Emanuel's last day in office was Monday, but only a day later the former White House chief of staff has already found roles at the Atlantic and ABC News.

"Former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is joining The Atlantic as a contributing editor, where he’ll write for the Ideas section," Politico's Michael Calderone was the first to report. "Emanuel has written several times for The Atlantic in recent months, including on ‘what the press is missing about Pete Buttigieg.'" Emanuel's first piece for the magazine argued that Democrats should seize upon populist anger at elites in 2020 the way Trump had in 2016, writing, "if Democrats want to address simmering middle-class anger, they need to deliver justice."

Later that day, the Daily Beast reported that Emanuel will also be joining ABC News as a political analyst, appearing primarily on Good Morning America. According to their sources, Emanuel was in talks with both MSNBC and CNN before landing at ABC. Emanuel is a controversial figure both within his own party and in Chicago. The two-term mayor had to bow out of his 2019 re-election bid amid low approval ratings driven by his handling of the investigation into the police shooting of young black man Laquan McDonald.

Transgender woman speaks out

A Michigan MLive Media news article reported in July that the transgender woman, Carlotta Sklodowska, said she had entered the women’s locker room “to hang up her coat and purse, and then to retrieve the items after her workout.” She explained she wasn’t an actual member of Planet Fitness, that she was a guest of a friend. Sklodowska asked about the locker room policy regarding transgender individuals before entering the women’s locker room. The Planet Fitness employee told her, “You use the locker room that corresponds with how you are dressed.”

Court documents filed in 2015 tell a different story. The complaint posted on the Kallman Legal Group website stated that when Cormier entered the locker room to change her clothes she encountered a large, tall man wearing a wig, who looked like a man in men’s clothes. The lawsuit explains that the man’s presence intimidated and frightened her to the point that she did not change her clothes, and instead reported the incident to the staff member.

The legal complaint states that "while Cormier made no judgment as to the lifestyle of the transgender woman in the locker room, who was a visitor of another member, a cursory search of the man under her current name, Carlotta Sklodowska, on her Facebook page revealed serious doubts as to her sincerity." Her Facebook post, listed as Exhibit C of the appeals court brief, showed in part the following:**

QAnon’s new ties to Ramtha have opened up a split among QAnon believers, many of whom fear that associating with people who believe in an ancient warrior spirit will make QAnon believers look ridiculous.

Notable: Macron Goes Full Machiavelli Ahead of the European Elections

==Macron Goes Full Machiavelli Ahead of the European Elections

The French president is gathering unlikely allies to challenge the populists. But he's so unpopular, it might not even matter.

It’s rare that the likes of Emmanuel Macron is compared to Roger Stone. But Stone’s cardinal rule, “In order to win, you must do everything,” very much applies to the French president. And the latest political alliance he’s struck ahead of the upcoming European elections only reinforces that.

Macron’s La République En Marche (“the Republic on the move”) party presented its European election manifesto in Paris two weeks ago, then traveled to Berlin and other European capitals to rally French expat voters. It also promoted its ally parties from other countries, namely the German Free Democratic Party (FDP), the Spanish center-right Ciudadanos, the Dutch D66, the Hungarian Momentum, the Belgian liberal MR, the Austrian liberal NEOS, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s VVD. Through this group—which is humbly called “Renaissance”—Macron is trying to win 100 seats in the European Parliament (out of 778). But getting there will be tough, because even the aforementioned parties that actively wield power haven’t won significant shares of the vote.

This is where the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), a transnational political grouping, comes in. Macron’s plan is to adopt the platform of the ALDE, drop the word “liberal” (which in Europe still refers to economic liberalism), and use its resources to argue for a stronger EU. But the ALDE itself has struggled to establish a power base and forged some shady alliances in trying to do so. For instance, it currently includes the Czech party ANO, whose leader, Andrej Babiš, is being investigated for allegedly misallocating €2 million ($2.24 million) for an infrastructure project he himself owned, in what is currently one of his country’s biggest corruption scandals. Babiš was a member of the communist party in the 1980s. He is on the European Court of Human Rights’ list of the former Czechoslovak dictatorship’s secret agents. He created a business empire in the post-Soviet 1990s, and now owns a very significant part of the Czech Republic’s media landscape.

And he isn’t the only media mogul on the list of Macron’s likely allies. Delyan Peevski from the ALDE affiliate Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) was identified by Reporters Without Borders as one of the main reasons for the poor state of the media in Bulgaria. RWB points out that the “New Bulgarian Media Group” controls nearly 80 percent of print media distribution in that country, and that it covers up corruption scandals by intimidating those trying to investigate shady business deals.

'I'll burn for you': How our Pentecostal PM energised Christian voters

Scott Morrison declared his election victory a “miracle,” told an interviewer he saw people as “agents of God’s love” and used a National Press Club address to promise voters “I will burn for you” - a phrase used by some Pentecostal Christians to signify working tirelessly, often for Jesus.

One of his first acts during the campaign was to allow the cameras to record him worshipping at his church, Horizon.

Mr Morrison is not the first government leader of faith (John Howard, Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott were all Christians) but in his political language, the re-elected Prime Minister is arguably the most overt.

According to the Australian Christian Lobby’s Martyn Iles, this language - coupled with the PM’s support for religious freedom - is re-energising religious communities and turning them to the Liberal Party.

“It does give people of faith a degree of confidence when they see a Prime Minister who is clearly Christian,” Mr Iles said.

“It doesn’t surprise me when it seems like religious communities played a role in the rising support for the Liberal Party, because I think that confidence probably did play into the psychology of their vote.”

Citizens for Corporate Accountability Aims Full-Page Anti-SPLC Ad at Amazon

Citizens for Corporate Accountability has taken out a full-page advertisement out in the Seattle Times calling on e-commerce giant Amazon to drop its association with the far-left SPLC pressure group. The Citizens for Corporate Accountability recently took out a full-page advertisement in the Seattle Times calling for e-commerce giant Amazon to cut ties with the SPLC. CCA told Breitbart News in an email:

To date, Citizens for Corporate Accountability has sent over 75,000 emails to Amazon and it’s Board of Directors since beginning this effort about 10 days ago. The Amazon Smile Charitable Support Program, which has delivered over $100 million to nonprofits, denies access to any organization on the SPLC blacklist. CCA points out that numerous print articles in recent months have established this blacklist deliberately mixes together mainstream conservative nonprofits with small and violent extremist hate groups. In the Seattle Times ad, CCA asks Amazon to make its own decisions about eligibility based on clear public standards with due process for organizations denied access.

The first paragraph of the ad placed in the Seattle Times states: “Amazon promotes its “Smile” program as “a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop.” That is, unless your favorite nonprofit appears on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s so-called “hate group list,” in which case it is blacklisted by Amazon. The SPLC and its list are fundamentally flawed. Amazon must abandon them.”

In a letter sent to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the company’s Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Affairs, Jay Carney, in April of this year, CCA requested that the e-commerce giant cease its work with the SPLC. CCA specifically took issue with how the SPLC designates certain organizations as “hate groups” and how this has affected the Amazon Smile program which allows Amazon shoppers to donate money to particular charities.

CCA says that the SPLC ranks hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan alongside mainstream conservative organizations in an unfair manner: “The ‘hate group’ list falsely purports to identify dangerous organizations promoting hate and violence, and Amazon has acceded to the demands of SPLC that Amazon terminate participation of named organizations in the Amazon Smile program. However, this list mixes together racist and violent organizations like the Ku Klux Klan with those that simply espouse mainstream political and social views with which the SPLC and apparently many of its donors disagree. For this reason, the list is permanently compromised, and cannot be relied upon for business decisions by Amazon or any other organization.”

In one case highlighted by Breitbart News in 2018, the Christian legal non-profit Alliance for Defending Freedom was blacklisted from the Amazon Smile program after the SPLC designated it a “hate group.”

The Israeli Knesset is weighing legislation that would grant government officials immunity from criminal prosecution, and just so happen to spare Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from three looming corruption indictments.

If the proposed amendment to the Immunity Law passes, elected officials cannot be charged with a criminal offense unless the 120-member Knesset and the Knesset House Committee agree to waive immunity. Should Netanyahu’s Likud Party secure a coalition and outnumber its rivals, the measure could effectively place them above the law for as long as they serve in government.

EU Elections: Populists Hope to Do Well in Suburbs

The winners and losers in European Parliament elections next week are likely to be determined in the suburbs of the continent's cities, which are turning into three-way electoral battlegrounds.

The elections are being seen as a moment of truth for an array of anti-migrant nationalist populist parties, which hope to reverse European integration.

Establishment Conservatives are hoping they can shore up their support in the suburbs in the face of strong challenges from left-wing progressives and nationalist populists, who have been campaigning against EU integration and for a "Europe of Fatherlands."

Populists are forecast to make significant gains in the May 23-26 elections and to grab votes from the dominant center-right parties aligned with the European People's Party (EPP).

The election is expected to result in a more divided Parliament with a reduced pro-EU majority. A third of the lawmakers in the 751-seat body could end up being drawn from euroskeptic populist parties, which oppose increasing EU power.

On Thursday, European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker expressed his alarm at the prospect, warning in an interview with the Austrian Der Standard newspaper that the EU could be "incapacitated" as a result. "I see this election as serene and calm, but deeply concerning, because I see the margins of the political spectrum questioning the European project," he said……….

14th Air Force’s Priorities for Space Warfighters

By Maj. Cody Chiles, 14th Air Force Public Affairs / Published May 13, 2019

“There are a lot of changes coming, and it’s exciting, and as commanders you own it…you’re going to be the ones who direct the E-5s and Captains to execute operations; and they are going to do it viciously and lethally,” said Moorhead. “Take this new organizational structure and use it flexibly to support your warfighting requirements. It’s only a matter of time before there’s a real Luke Skywalker; and we have to prepare for it…the things you’re doing today are getting us ready for a war in space.”

Interesting that Zoltan Istvan comes up again as I did a small dig on him back in Jan 2018 (Post #39234)…but didn't follow up as Q was in the middle of a drop flurry.

Besides being a 2016 Presidential candidate, ol' Zoltan may run again & he was also thick with Peter Thiel & Alex Karp…names some of y'all know very well.

Notable: James Comey admitted on the record that he was a Communist

In an unearthed 2003 interview with New York Magazine, James Comey, who would go on to helm the FBI a decade later, admitted on the record that he was a Communist before he joined the Bureau.

McCarthy warned the United States about the long term Communist plan to infiltrate and destroy America from within, and it is now clear that they almost managed to pull off their audacious heist.

The bombshell news means that it is now confirmed the heads of Obama’s FBI and CIA, Comey and John Brennan, were both Communists during the Cold War, yet somehow climbed the ranks within the same US intelligence community that had spent decades fighting that very ideology.

Notable: The "American Taliban" member is set to be released from a U.S. federal prison Thursday

>John Walker Lindh, American ex-Taliban militant, set to walk free Thursday

(Fox News) - The Islamic militant who became known as the infamous "American Taliban" member is set to be released from a U.S. federal prison Thursday despite lawmakers' concerns about the “security and safety implications” of freeing an unrepentant terrorist who officials say continues to “openly call for extremist violence.”

John Walker Lindh, who is currently behind bars in Terre Haute, Indiana, is set to be discharged May 23, several years before he would complete the prescribed 20-year prison sentence he received for joining and supporting the Taliban. The former Islamist fighter and enemy combatant, named “Detainee 001 in the war on terror,” was arrested in 2001, just months after the Sept. 11 attacks and the start of the war in Afghanistan, along with a group of Taliban fighters who were captured by U.S. forces.

Will not be surprised at all if this piece of shit is complicit in the next major terror event on our soil.

Notable: Federal judge appears hesitant to block Trump Obamacare alternatives

Federal judge appears hesitant to block Trump Obamacare alternatives

The Trump administration argued in district court Tuesday that it was allowed to let people buy short-term plans outside of Obamacare's rules because they'd done little to disrupt the market and had been allowed for most of Barack Obama's tenure. Throughout the oral arguments, D.C. District Court Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of George W. Bush, raised these same arguments, even before the Trump administration presented its position. "What's going on here is nothing more than a status quo of what was going on before," Leon said. By the end of the hearing, he said that he "a lot to chew on" and that he hoped to issue a ruling by the summer.

At the center of the lawsuit, filed in September by patient groups, are short-term health insurance plans, which the Trump administration has promoted as an alternative to Obamacare, which can be prohibitively expensive for people who don't qualify for subsidies. The administration allows people to buy the short-term plans for just under 12 months and then to renew for a total of three years. In extending the short-term plans, the administration overturned a rule the Obama administration implemented in April 2016 that shortened the time people were allowed to have the plans from 364 days to three months. The plaintiffs, including patient groups representing people with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and mental illness, sued, saying that people with serious chronic issues would not have access to medical care. Attorney Charles Rothfeld, who represented the plaintiffs in court on Tuesday, said that the Trump administration was undermining Congress' will in the Affordable Care Act to provide "meaningful, adequate insurance" that would not turn away sick people or charge them more than healthy people and that would cover a range of medical care.

Short-term plans are generally meant to be transitional coverage that people use when they're between jobs or taking a semester off school. "It is better for those people to have an alternative versus no alternative," said Serena Maya Schulz Orloff of the Department of Justice, who was representing the Trump administration.
